Elsa & Anna at princess meals yet?

[Princess Serendipity]

As far as Rapunzel and Elsa at character meals go, I could be wrong but I feel like Rapunzel's hair and Elsa's dress may be a contributing factor to their scarcity. With all the moving around between tables and the amount of things going on at the meals (nearby families and children, people getting up, the parade at Akershus, servers coming to tables, etc.), I imagine Elsa's train would cause some problems. Not to mention poor Rapunzel's hair getting tangled or caught on things. My hair's only just past my hips and frequently gets caught on things and tangles if I'm moving around a lot or in any kind of breeze- I can't imagine what ankle-length hair would be like.

Rumor. They did some SW breakfasts at Sci-Fi last year during SWW.

1) There are no more Star Wars Weekends.
2) I have not heard of a Star Wars Character Meal.
3) Without a SWW, I do not see the need for a SW Meal.

I know there are no SWW any more.

However, as DHS gets torn up, having some special event meals with the SW characters, as they once did during SWW, would be a stellar profit center.

I base this on the following:

• During SWW, they charged $48 for an adult breakfast at Sci Fi. This is twice what they're charging for breakfast now ($24).
• All appearances were villains, not harder to cast face characters.
• The menu for SWW breakfasts was 90% similar to the current Sci Fi menu. A few flourishes included Star Wars pastries (vs. pastry plate), a melon Yoda in the fruit cup, blue milk. None of this is a difficult swap.
• Costumes are a sunk cost -- they already have them.

The main additional costs involve staffing for the characters, and I'd guess that the markup between what they're charging day to day and what they charged for SWW makes up for a lot of that. Obviously, there's a question of how many people are paying cash vs. Dining Plan. But I suspect the math works out.

Can we get Rapunzel something better than a potty, first, and build Tiana a signature TS restaurant in New Fantasyland?

We need a "Tiana's Palace" TS at POFQ.

1) Maybe.
2) But, there have no notifications or rumors regarding casting for such a meal.
3) Plus, by now we would expect Costuming to be told to prepare.
4) Usually, Costuming knows 4-6 months ahead of time.
